Sir Henry Bcssemer has explained in
The London Times a process hy which
steel forts and turrets cOull BE- supplied
for British coaling stations with extra
ordinary dispatch, and at a very moderate
price. His plan is TO cast the required fort
IN one piece. There is a simple grandeur
about this idea which strongly recon-
mends it 10 the lay mind. Sir Henry has n
good deal 10 say in favor Of his proposal.
Suppose we want a fort with n curved face
100 feet long, III feet high and , feet
thick. If a mold made of bricks and
lined with fire clay were made, Sir Henry
states that sixteen hours would suffice for
the casting Of the fort in one solid piece
of steel weighing 800 tons, requiring no
backing or superstructure for its support,
and no expensive fitting together Of its
various parts, and having all lis ports and
~loopholes formed in the required position
by the act of casting. Boston Globe.

Memorable Gas. OF "~suttce."

Leaving Lahore day before yesterday
afternoon, a ride Of ~thirty-two miles
brought us 10 this place, Amritsar,
Which name Is a combination of Sanskrit
words, meaning fountain of immortal
ity." About halfway from Lahore we
passed through the small town of Atari,
the scene of one of the most memorable
cases of ''suttee' in the history Of India.
Its gray headed Sikh chief, Sham Singh,
while proceeding against some Moham-
medan enemies of his faith, was sur
rounded 10y o~yerpowering numbers, with
no opportunity for escape or prospect OF
assistance. Rather than submit. he
clothed himself in pure white, to denote
a devotion to his religion unto death, and
placing himself at the head Of his follow
ers, charged the enemy with great Draw
cry, and was killed after performing
many feats Of personal g~allantry. When
the news was brought 10 his one and only
wife. she hurriedly had her funeral pyre
prepared. and, in the presence Of the en-
tire Sikh community, mounted it COM
posedly and deliberately committed
''suttoe allowed herself TO burn TO
death.
Although suffice was frequently re-
sorted To by the Hindoos, yet voluntary
examples of it were exceedingly rare.
That thorough and beautiful love which
would make a woman give up her
earthly life for the possibility Of an inn
mediate reunion with her husband does
not seem to have been very common in
India, for, as far as | can learn, but very
few of the recorded cases Of ''suttee
were voluntary ones. The cast mem
toned above is n well authenticated one,
though: and the loving wife passed out
of this world believing that her act would
entitlc her 10 the Hindoo promise Of an
immediate reunion in heaven with her
husband. 10 last rs many thousands Of

An interesting contribution. the discus
sion Of the domestic service problem. is
given by our correspondent from New
Mexico. We think the working women
of the east cannot know that in New
Mexico domestic servants ara Ilil $40 a
month. with board and home in addition,
and cannot be obtained even for these
large wages. The native McXicans sup
ply about the only servants Ia he had
there. and they are So unfamiliar with
American methods Of housekeeping and
withal are ~ indolcnt and careless that
their service Is far from satisfactory. The
pride viii. h koeps the native American nj

S3a week. II would seem, would disap-
pear before the temptation Of an oppor-
tunlty 10 earn $3.50 a year. most of which
could hr saved, as the home i, furnished
IN addition 10 the money wages. -Phila.

Taylor took her in his arms She cried as

the water ballast tanks. Her boiler is of the ordinary marine type, with three hues of 3 feet 6 inches diameter each. These fues are fitted with brick combustion chamber and superheater, as in the case of other vessels fitted on the Tarbutt system. Another point of departure in the present instance consists in the substitution of highly heated and expanded com pressed air for the steam ordinarily used in liquid fuel fires. The steam used for compressing the air is exhausted into the condenser, the water from which is of course available for feeding the boiler along with that condensed from the main engines. The Charles Howard left the Tyne Dock last Saturday for the Black Sea, and as she steamed down the river at full speed not particle of smoke was visible from the funnel, the fires working admirably from the first start It is stated that the owners propose to fit the remainder of their fleet with similar appar- atus. The storage of the oil in tie water ballast tanks has. we believe, never before been introduced in practice. It is an important fea- ture, as it saves the shipowner the heavy expenditure incidental to the fitting of tanks in the bunker space, ane, combined with the sub s;itution of air for steam, makes 8 decided departure in liquid fuel practice.-London Times.

Liquid E'uel.

i further in portant advance has just been made in utilizing hydro cartoons for steam-ralsing purposes on board ship. Alegitimate object ion to adoption Of liquid fuel at seq under certain circumstances has been that the use of steam for the diffusion of tue oili the boiler furnaces entails q considerable loss of fresh water from the boil ers. As this loss has to be made good by salt water on long ocean voyages, the density of the water is rapidly raised to a dangerous point. This is, however, entirely
 overcome by the system adopted i'll the steamship Charles Howard, owned by Messrs. Alfred Smart X Co, which has been recently
 fitted with tanks for carrying refined petroleum in bulk and also with Tarbutt's system of burning residual oils under the boilers in
 place of coal. She is 249 feet in length, with 8 feet beam and 235 feet depth of hold Tic whole of the cargo spnce in the vessel is oc- cupied by tanks for carrying tbe refined petroleum, while the refuse oil to tc use1 fer f0el is carriod irl

i agreed that the officer who was killed was, perhaps, the least ex- | pose, of any.
 There was q superstition in my regiment that any one who went into battle with the foot of a rab- bit tied aronnd his neck was safe This was alright. and rabbits feet were at high premium for two or three weeks. My brigade was then pushed ahead on q recounais- sance, bumped up against the Tanks, and we rot only got severely thrashed but we lost a good many men. Out of the seventy men in my company l presume that thirty bad the tallsman. It so happened that the three killed belonged to this lucky set. and next day rabbits feet took decided fall iu price. I was for a timo a Brigadier's orderly His supposition was that he would be safe from bullets as long as he rode a chestnut horse In the first battle into which l followed him his chestnut was shot. and, of course, I hustled to bring him up another. Mine was cole-black, and the only one which 1 could get for him was q roan. He didn't seem to notice the difference until the action Was over, and then l got terrible rf/- ing. In the second battle he had q chestnut, and even before our line came under fire q buIlet crippled the horse and another hit my superstitious General in the thigh and left him to limp through life on short leg. personally knew other officers who felt safe on roaus, hays, blacks, and even whites bat they sooner or later discovered that they had pinned their faith to rule which had exceptions.
 l remember that jrst before Grant attacked Lee iu the Wilder ness, and while l was at brigade headquarters. hen, of which there was large flock about the yard, scratched up q steel button. 4 sergeant of cavalry at once dis mounted and secured if, and when I asked what use he could put it to he repied:
 T will drop 1t into the car of my Colonel's horse just before the next battle, and no harm will come to either of them"
 But what fotish can there be in steel button?"
 0, it isn't 50 much in the but ton as in tho hen scratching 1t up before my eyes"
 But why not try it in your own horses ear and take care of your sclf?"
 "To be lucky 1t must be given to somebody else"
 I laughed at him, and he got so mad that we nearly came to blows. l met him week later, having a sabre cut on his head, and asked , ,him how the fetish worked.
 "Afust have been growing hen which scratched 1t up," be replied. The Colonel and twenty of our men were killed the day after ] saw you."- ."-Detroit Free Press.
